Arrivederci Parma Ciao

 Good morning!

I spent last two weeks bunding all our things, and we spent last two weekends to bring them in the new house. Today is the last day here, so this is the last post from Parma!!
I lived in Parma for 5 years (Dvd 10!) I had a very good time, new friends, new things to do, university... but now it is time to go!

Have a nice day!
See you soon from Fano :-)

Uff

Good morning sweeties,

since yesterday I am on strike because of earthquake. I know the house where I live is safe, I know what to do in case of earthquake and it is not the first earthquake this year. But yesterday morning I was tooking a shower when the house trembled. And then while the pasta was on the fire, another strong shake. And another.
So I decided to go to the park, fortunately it was a sunny day. I slept very bad, now I can't calm down, so I am waiting the washing machine finish its work and the I will go out profit by another sunny day : pilates and the study in the park..and maybe some rows of crochet.

Have a nice day!

Wedding invitations #2

I thought maybe you would like to know what I used to make my invitations...I mean all the things. So I took some other pictures.

I went in a stamp shop and I asked if they could make the "grande giorno" stamp for me. The outside part is in plastic, and the stamp is made of silicone and it cost 14 euro.

 

In the same shop where I bought recycled paper and envelopes, I also bought the heat gun, powders and silicone moulds. 

The heat gun

Here you can see the hearts plant and the heart I used on the cards

To use them  you have to put them on a rigid base, I bough this plastic base, but you can use also something like a ruler. 

Red powder (Aladine) and  the white one (Artemio) are embossing powders, then embossing glue tone on tone (Top Boss Watermark) 

These are all the things I used to prepare my weddings invitations.

Last year I bough also this silicone stamps because I think I can use them in future, the theme of this package is "hand-knitting" I can not buy it ! 

Have a nice day and week!

Wedding Invitations

Hi Everybody!

We had a very fizzy nigth, with an earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale! Today in the afternoon another one measuring 5.1... Stop it please!   

I told you I will post my wedding invitations, I think it's time to do it : 

I made 3 cards, one for the ceremony, one for the restaurant (very simple, not showed) and one for the confirmation (well, our guests can simply send us a mail  but it was funny :-) )

To make the white and red part I used a "magic powder" :

First of all I put the glue on the card with a  in - relief silicone mould

Then I put on the glue, the powder 

Then I heated up (?) the mix of glue and powder with a special dryer in the shape of a pen and voilà ! 

Do you like our recycled paper invitations? 

I wish you a wonderful week! 

See you soon (well, I hope soon) 

Kisses from Italy :-) 

Nuovo netbook, nuova custodia !

Buongiorno! 
I finished my new project, in my last post it was not sewed, then yesterday I bought this button (incredibly the only coloured button I found and they cost 0,60 euro per button -too much-) and this morning I'm ready to show you the sleeve for my new netbook ! 

I hope you like it, I'm so proud of my work! 

And for the future, I decided to buy buttons from The Button Company , they are wonderful!

Have a good weekend, see you soon! 

Good morning dears!
I hope you had a nice Easter and Easter holidays with family and friends. We went to Dvd parent's house and we took advantage of holidays to make some preparations for the wedding (to book hotels for our guests etc).
On Monday and yesterday I made something new :

What do you think about my new project? Can you imagine what i'm doing?

I like it very much ! I think it is soooo funny with all this colours and it will be very very useful !

Good morning dears!
how are you?
Here in Italy it's rainy today, I don't like rain but I love to sleep with the sound of rain in the background.
Well I like to sleep but Totoro prefers to wake me up every morning between 6.00 and 6.30 (5.30 this morning) ..I don't know what to do to stop my cat alarm clock!
Yesterday my pc died, it had some problems with battery, but Dvd says the real problem is that the hard disk is broken..so no way to save it. All the pattern I saved in 3 years are gone..God bless Raverly! Fortunately all the pictures of our life are in the other hard disk (the outside one) and in the pc of Dvd. Today Dvd will bring me to the shop to buy another one netbook (God bless Dvd!)
I wish you happy and paceful  Easter with your friends and family!
Have a nice weekend!
See you ASAP!
